BUFFALO, N.Y. — Auston Matthews will have to wait another 24 hours before learning whether the Toronto Maple Leafs are going to select him with the first pick in the NHL draft.

General manager Lou Lamoriello on Thursday said he's going to keep everyone guessing — including the Arizona-born, 18-year-old Matthews — until it's time for the Maple Leafs to announce the selection Friday night.
